Lee Davy breaks down the action from the 21st day of the 46th Annual World Series of Poker, including a fourth bracelet win by Jeff Madsen, Ivan Luca on the cusp of his first, and the Monster Stack reaches the final table.
In 2006 Jeff Madsen set the world of poker alight, when he won two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, and was crowned the WSOP Player of the Year (POY). He was the youngest person to do so.
Those victories created a career for young Madsen. A bankroll was set, respect had been earned, and he would never have to worry about where the next game would come from. Nine years later and he has picked up his fourth bracelet, a week after reaching his 30th birthday. Only Phil Hellmuth, Stu Ungar and Allen Cunningham reached that number earlier.
Madsen picked up $301,413 after topping a field of 480 entrants in Event #31: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better.
